The Lyrics

If you’re thinking of marrying someone from a different culture it’s probably a good idea to weigh possible problems that might come out of it. Lyrics in {brackets} at the very end are to the final orchestra notes of the OS.
Wow! Look at all those little people
I somehow fell for one, truth be told

She was a pygmy
not of much height, and what’s worse
in her neck were some beads
What gives with me?
Mate is so little
Hair in a braid; on her cheek
I saw scars; there were four
Hard to ignore

Through her nose was a bone
Don’t know where it came from
Sure it came from people
A clue of things to come

Caught in a frenzy
writhing in dirt; wasn’t sure
what it meant; was not clear
War drums seemed near
Looked up at their King
it was a shock; saw his knife
right above me; was scared
cut off my hair

Should have known these people
weren’t like where I come from
Pygmys and some beanpoles
I think I hear King Kong

Now – they moan loud and I hear deep groans
I’m – shook up; just why did I leave home?

Fell for a pygmy
It was absurd to be married to one
was insane
Where was my brain?
Facing bad ending
Whining; I blurt, “Mercy, man”
then they took me to cave
made me their slave

Now I’m kissing feet, so
my future seems quite glum
Should have known these people
would screw me all along

{That’s a sad song}

Is this an example of "hell in a pygmy"? Kind of surreal, but rather giggleworthy :-)

Genius title sub, Paul...and a wacky, OTT parody to follow! 555

Is this my week for getting inspiration from others? I've been singing "Fell on a pygmy" since reading this yesterday, and have a feeling there are enough ideas in that one to write two or three complete parodies...

Mac, That IS a hilarious idea. Kristof, yeah, it's just a little on the wacky side, isn't it? Phil, it is rather catchy with the OS music...I've been playing my vocal overlay version multiple times on my way to and from work the last few days and I still get the chuckles. Glad it's serving as an inspiration. It's much more fun than the OS, that's for sure.
